In a recent interview, Ali Salehabadi, the recently appointed Governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), stated that the "national cryptocurrency" will shortly enter its experimental phase. According to the project's developers, the pilot phase of the initiative is expected to follow a similar path to previous proposals for the establishment of a national cryptocurrency in the country. On the contrary of digital currencies that are based on public blockchains, such as Bitcoin, the Iranian government-issued coin will not be mined in the classic sense.
Cryptocurrency trading is "not suited for the general public", according to Singapore's central bank.
Cryptocurrency investors in Singapore may have to go through a risk awareness assessment before being allowed to trade. They will also not be able to use credit cards or any form of borrowing to trade cryptocurrencies. These are among the measures proposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect retail consumers. A risk awareness assessment is also being proposed to ensure that retail customers have sufficient knowledge of the risks involved. DPT service providers will not be allowed to offer any monetary or non-monetary incentives to retail customers upon sign-up, or to any person to encourage referrals of its service.
